Neil Stratford got a reaction from Bretto77 in Suburbs of Origin 2024 Leader Board
I was suppose to go mackerel /reefy yesterday morning ,but my mate who was taking me in his boat cancelled with a sore shoulder at the last moment . Since I had that all important leave pass organised ,I went and dug a few worms and had a whiting fish last night . Could not find any decent ones , but scratched up a nice feed of whiting. Got a beautiful little juvenile mulloway and a little lizard as by catch , which were tagged and released .Managed to upgrade team south’s whiting slightly.
whiting 350 ,345,350mm
mulloway 405mm
flathead 385mm

Great land based fish Max , looks like you suffered a bit of line burn 😉
Hope it didn’t nip you when you were removing that slug.

Went for a flathead fish this morning ,but my Lowrance side scan told me to forget the flathead and fish for something else.
Ended up getting a nice feed of threadies off the sand in 1.2 m of water. Jess those things go on light gear. Hopefully the photos come up ok as they were beautifully conditioned clean fish.
team south
Flathead 510mm
Threadfin 1030mm ,930mm and 965mm
Gave all the fish barring 1 Thready away , which I’ll be having with some nice fresh salad tonite.

Neil Stratford got a reaction from AUS-BNE-FISHO in My Custom Fishing Rod --- Bindings
I personally like using slightly larger spinning reels .
I recon I get greater distance in my casts with the slightly larger spools , and you don’t have to put as much effort when continuously casting and retrieving lures and plastics .You also often get greater line capacity which sometimes comes in handy if you come across an unexpected larger fish like a big thready or longtail ,they’ll empty those tiny 1000 and 2000 series spinning reels faster than you can blink .So long as the larger reel isn’t too heavy and the rod /reel balance feels good there’s nothing to loose going up 1 or even 2 sizes. I think the Daiwa kix and Shimano sustains are pretty similar on paper. The Sustain 3000 is just over 10 percent lighter than the 3000 kix., but the 4000 models are pretty much both the same weights.

Very nice !! You’ve done a great job with it using some excellent components.
Have a look at a sustain 4000 .
Fairly good quality reel that’s nice and light.
